A genuine Nismo or Fujitsubo Legalis is probably the quietest system available off the shelf... but will be very expensive with the exchange rate now... plus they're cat back so you need to source front pipes separately. My setup was: HKS bell dump pipes, Trust MX front pipes, catco hi-flow cats (BATMBL's), and Trust MX cat-back.

I had that Trust MX but it was still loud enough to get 1 EPA notice long time ago, even though it was still quieter than most other exhaust on the market. It was tested right on the 90db limit which is basically the loudest legal allowed, and I've been avoiding further notices since by putting an Apexi 4" tip silencer.

the way i did it was to buy a split dump front pipe / dump pipe combo in one ie; BATMBL split dump or CES or BOS Importing split dump

they are on the forums. then take this to your local exhaust shop and say fit this and then supply a highflow 3" cat back exhaust for this pipe and this car

then they can match what they have and fit your split dump / front pipe combo also.

this way you get a perfect mated 3" turbo back pipe setup and then a standard ish 3" cat back system

or you can get the japanese cat back systems but be pre-pared to pay $$ and then ship it around etc

If you don't want it loud, make sure you have the centre resonator as opposed to only straight pipe and relying on rear muffler only.

It does help a lot. Most system that is not too loud would have a resonator in the middle. And if you're going to get someone to do it locally make sure you do a bit of research that the workshop you're going to ask to do it with have done something like that before and know what they're doing. Not because the workshop themselves tell you they know what they're doing, cos obviously they want your business and then just move on afterwards.

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?  
    • I got the Repco video recommended on YouTube.  
    • Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
